Shell

[Ian Docksey]

Hello
CASE %IDC_PLAN
IF CBCTLMSG = %BN_CLICKED OR CBCTLMSG = 1 THEN
LISTBOX GET TEXT CBHNDL, %IDC_LBLocations TO Location
REPLACE " " WITH "" IN Location
SHELL "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe " & _
"\\ntserver\data\StockLoc\" & Location & ".pdf"
END IF
The above is a section of code that uses the SHELL routine
When it is run I can not use the program until I close this instance "Adobe Reader"
How can I carry on using my program and leave "Adobe Reader" running?

Thanks
Ian
